    The gardens were free to enter. Well maintained, pretty raked garden and Japanese style bridge over water with koi and lots of interesting shaped trees and equally interesting artwork. There is a small cafe and public toilet facilities behind the cafe. Also a children’s play park with various things like massive climbing rope frame.

    The idea of creating a corner of Japan inside the park is very nice. very suggestive and well kept unlike the park which seems a little abandoned. the Japanese garden is not accessible to everyone due to the stairs and small paths on the rocks

    "beauty of simplicity" :) Nice place to visit, different flowers, a sample Japanese house and a Japan style bridge.. Don't expect too much to see about Japan..

    This serene garden tucked away in the busy streets of Toulouse. We have been in this area a few times but we were delighted to discovered this place today. It’s zen like and will give you some peace away from the main streets. It’s just adjacent to the main park. Lots of benches to sit and ponder about nothing , everything or anything.

    The actual Japanese garden is a rather small part of the gardens. It is however very nice and well maintained, quite picturesque. You need perhaps 15 mins to see everything there.

    Beautiful Japanese garden with a large koi/carp pond. Just sit and relax in the tranquil surroundings or read a book.

    Jardin Japonais offers a serene and tranquil environment, perfect for finding inner peace. The garden is beautifully designed, and a leisurely tour takes about 15 minutes. It's a hidden gem in Toulouse that provides a wonderful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.

    A good representation of a Japanese garden although the build quality of features like the bridge are not entirely in keeping, but that's being quite nit picking. Although fairly busy it was still possible to find a tranquil spot to contemplate.

    Wonderful visit. The idea of having such a garden in the middle of Toulouse is a brilliant idea.

  • 5/5 Peter C. 6 months ago on Google • 52 reviews
    One of the best free sightseeing in Toulouse! Very clean park with a Japanese gardenscape! The red bridge in the middle of the garden is the perfect spot to turn down the Instagram! A must visit

  • 5/5 Maria G. 5 months ago on Google • 16 reviews
    Beautiful and peaceful with a lot of birds! ❤️ 🤩 Lovely with The bridge and The surroundings 🤩

  • 5/5 Rebecca J. 9 months ago on Google
    Very beautiful! Benches all around to sit on as well as a grassy slope so ideal for reading out in the sunshine or spending time with friends. Peaceful and relatively quiet considering its location and popularity. Free to enter with no tickets required. A must visit if you find yourself in Toulouse.

  • 5/5 Fadwa H. 2 years ago on Google

    It was a very neatly manicured Japanese oasis & teahouse. Very beautiful and calm garden in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the city. You could feel the zen all around. Our Hotel was a short walk from this place so we went there almost strolling around during the day.

    A very nice Japanese garden with a nice pagoda, one of the best Japanese gardens I have visited

  • 5/5 David G. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a beautiful relaxing place in the middle of the city (during the weekdays) it gets pretty packed over the weekend. You should definitely visit

  • 5/5 Bharath R. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing place, must visit in toulouse.

  • 5/5 nidhin c. 8 months ago on Google
    Amazing and lovely garden, a must visit in Toulouse.

  • 5/5 Marko A. 9 months ago on Google
    Despite the ongoing maintenance, this was a lovely and peaceful experience. Small, but very thought-out and rich garden.

  • 3/5 Joanna 10 months ago on Google
    Actually it's only a park with a small part designed in Japanese style, nothing more. However the entrance is free which compensate a little bit the disappointment. 15 minutes take to circle around the garden.

    We’ve been looking for a place to relax between the city walks and we found this peaceful garden. The koi fish are very beautiful too. It’s very well maintained.

  • 5/5 Micaela A. 3 years ago on Google
    Beautiful and very calm garden. The Japanese bridge and wooden house are wonderful and a great photo opportunity. I also quite liked the bamboo trees. It's a great place to read and to relax.

  • 4/5 Matteo L. 2 years ago on Google
    Really cute and good vibe

  • 5/5 Andreas A. 3 years ago on Google
    The secluded part of the garden with the red bridge is remarkable. Also the playground for kids is a big big plus. On top, there's a nice little coffee place where crepes are being served too.

    I visited here for the first time on February 19th 2023 and several spots were under the constructions including a pond by a small red bridge so I didn’t take much pictures because it wasn’t pretty with all the construction background😢 But it should be done by now according to the notice they posted. If you’re already living in or around Toulouse, it’s a peaceful and nice park to visit which also has a restaurant(‘Barricot’/they operate it as a cafe as well during weekdays) just next to the park. However if you’re a traveller for only one or two days, I wouldn’t recommend this place. It’s a good one but not a best place to go. Like all gardens, it must be prettier when the weather is warm. Personally, I would visit here for next spring again.

  • 5/5 Viki c. 2 years ago on Google
    This is one of the best Japanese gardens I have seen

  • 5/5 Patrii T. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful place that make you feel peaceful and relax. For Japan lovers…might be sort of a “travel experience”, ‘cause I felt just like that. Quite busy though, but it was august.

  • 5/5 moises 1 year ago on Google
    Inside Compass-Caffarelli gardens, there is a small but beautiful Japanese garden. In good style, uses the water, rocks, etc to represent nature: the lakes, seas, mountains, etc. The control and love of nature in equal measure to use simplicity to create beauty. Less than 20 mins walk from the Capitole. I must see if you are in the area.

  • 4/5 Eden Avital A. 1 year ago on Google
    Not necessarily the best Japanese garden I have been to, but it's cute. Not many locations to take good pictures of the whole of it properly. Make sure to check the dragon - I thought I've was quite creative 😍 If rainy outside, I would say take some food with you and sit for a picnic in the serenity of the Japanese hut

  • 5/5 Rani. S. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent park and gardens, busy with visitors, nice place to spend time with friends and have a picnic or play ball and exercise. Big enough to find a quiet space. Well kept there is a children’s playground and cafe. Lovely lakes and a cute red bridge to cross. Various entrances a sculpture by Picasso and busts relating to famous people.

  • 5/5 Amin J. 1 year ago on Google
    If you're living in Toulouse (or visiting it) and looking for some time to make peace and stay away from daily stresses, I highly suggest you to visit this this garden. The beautiful lake, big red fishes, awesome plants from all around the world (Bamboos were eye-catching), and wooden Japanese style house were all amazing and to me, very mind relaxing. Give it a visit!

  • 5/5 Anton A. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice place to relax and take a break from the city. It is quite small but it is surrounded with a bigger park.

  • 5/5 Olivia M. 6 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    Truly peaceful, absolutely beautiful views and some great spots for photos. We had a great time walking around in the rain, which made the park even quieter.
